What an odd book. It breaks one of the rules that is always dictated to beginning writers - no odd turns of plot that later turn out to be a dream. In this case there are three odd turns of plot that all happened while the narrator was in a coma, which the reader know nothing about until later.
And yet it all works somehow. Let me be honest - I love the writing style of Kate Atkinson. She could write a grocery list and I would read it. Her style really resonates with me, and I thoroughly enjoyed this queer book, strange plot twists and all.
